Hello,
You can give her lactulose or send leaves at night and most probably she will have a bowel movement in the morning.
If she still doesn't have a bowel movement there may be a mechanical obstetrician and need to do an x-ray or abdominal ultrasound. Tumoral mass may be a cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
